Reno will become a little more colorful when people flock to the Peppermill Casino as it hosts the National Tattoo Association’s Tattoo Convention this week.

The four-day convention starts Thursday and will run through Sunday. Thursday and Friday are only open to registered members. Though pre-registration is closed, participants can pay $50 to register at the convention allowing them access to the whole event along with contests. It costs $10 to attend on Saturday or Sunday. About 700 to 1,000 pre-registered members show up each year.

The NTA asked Apache Jil, member and local tattooist at Pirate Tattoo, to host the convention in Reno. Jil said this has been the fourth time the convention has come to Reno but the first one held in the city in 30 years.
